Reading that site, I immediately thought that it was probably written by someone from England. And yes, it does dig at Americans, as well as Brits, and I can sit and laugh at that. No, I'm not going to freak out and cry that someone insulted my country or it's residents, I found it quite funny. I think everybody needs to step back and laugh at themselves once in a while, it's good for your health
As for this site, the whole thing is written in a very sarcastic manner, which (at least I think) is a very British thing. I personally love sarcasm, and have a very sarcastic sense of humor, which is probably why I picked up on it right away. It's very well written, in my opinion, and has been added to my favorites list
By the way, just wondering, not trying to offend anyone, but what do all you Brits call 1,000,000,000 then, if not one billion? Do you just call it a thousand million?
LONDON - A British government worker has been fired and another demoted following allegations they were involved in serious misconduct, including leaping naked from filing cabinets and having sex in office lavatories. Newspaper reports said staff at the Rural Payments Agency in Newcastle in northeast England also took drugs at work, brawled in the reception area and carried out pranks such as vomiting in cups and leaving them for other people to find. From wire reports
Personally, I don't care where a person is from on the map, It's the mindset
of the individual that should really matter,but WHAT ABOUT THIS?????
GREAT BRITAIN
Workers punished after allegations

Bah, that's way up north. Everyone there suck anyway, most of them couldn't tie their shoe laces without a blue print, and I was half way though it the second time before I noticed it was the same paragraph XD
I dunno... sounds like a real fun bunch; except for the puking in cups......
What's THAT about?
Speaking of British humor, I really wish they'd show Red Dwarf on TV here again. We get it as reruns sometimes.
What I think is cool about the UK is how y'all can switch from metric to SAE
at the drop of a hat... Here in the US the only people that can do that are
rocket scientists and dope dealers.
Oh & I seen Iron Maiden a bunch a times in concert - even read Running Free
Many of us switch from Metric to Imperial at the drop of a hat, but most Brits dont know what those funny American Small what-ever they are standards are. We think an SAE is a stamped address envelope. What's more, we're right ! we already have two measuring systems we dont need two more...! Have you any idea how hard it is to be thinking in inches when someone asks "whats that in mills?"...
I dont really care what any of ya say. I know what its really means to be british:
Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign.
